Homemade LCA braces. Opinions?

[1983calais]

If everything goes as planned, I want to autocross my Monte Carlo at the super summit in Norwalk Ohio in July. I plan on buying some suspension parts when UMI gets back after Covid 19. I thought bracing the chassis at the lower control arms would be a good idea. I don’t want to weld on the frame, so I thought I would make my own bolt on braces. What do you guys think? Any opinions or improvements I could make on these I made? Thanks everyone.

Looks good my 89 caprice comes with a similar set up from the factory that connect to the lower control arm I will take pictures of it tomorrow and post them maybe you can duplicate it I thought about doing it for a G body

To change Tim Taylors ( Home Improvement ) slogan, MORE STRENGTH Good idea. Sure ain’t going to hurt anything.

just wondering why you don't like welding on the frame and how do you box the frame without welding?

as a welding alternative i like it,not everyone can.what about some fasteners in one of these areas?

Great idea! I would also buy a set. I purchased a set of pre fabbed weld in brackets but had to remove them when I installed the Hooker exhaust system. Not enough clearance for the mufflers!
